Listen "What They Don’t Tell You About Working in Mining"
Episode Synopsis
The high-vis, the big money, the long hours — we’ve all heard about the surface-level parts of mining. But what’s the real story behind life on-site? In this episode, I unpack the things no one tells you before stepping into the mining industry: the mental load, the culture shock, the unexpected highs, and the challenges that test your limits. Whether you're new to site, FIFO-curious, or just want the raw truth behind the safety glasses, this episode shares the lessons I learned the hard way — plus the tips I wish someone had told me in year one. I’ll also take a look at the positives that often get overlooked — the friendships, freedom, and growth that come from living and working in one of the most intense industries out there.
